Lyptus premium hardwood is grown on well-managed plantations in South America, making it the eco-friendly choice for the global consumer.

Lyptus wood is from hybrid eucalyptus trees, which mature in 14–16 years (other hardwoods take up to 60 years). Lyptus trees sprout from the stump of previously harvested trees, so the forest is always renewing itself!

The wood is harder than oak, enabling easels made of Lyptus to withstand the wear and tear of everyday use.

I bought this easel about 2 years ago and it's served it's purpose well. I wouldn't recommend this easel though. Lowering and raising the canvas resting tray can be rather difficult. It uses a nob/bolt function not a pulley system. After 2 years, the tightening bolt which lowers the canvas tray became completely "stripped" and fell apart while I was painting. I'm now waiting for a replacement part, which is costing $50. The bolts are made of a cheap aluminum, not a stronger, lasting metal. Just beware. I have no complaints with the rest of the easel.

This is a fantastic easel at an amazing price. It took less than 5 minutes to put together, is very well made and seriously the best easel I've ever had. I have looked at more expensive ones, but they weren't as nice as this - and I very much appreciate the reduced carbon footprint this wood offers. Very nice! Sturdy, able to handle large and small work, well crafted. I highly recommend it.

For as solid as this easel is, it's easy to shift about on the floor or move from place to place; it's so stable that everything stays put even if you tend to flail at your painting; and it's just as beautiful with errant licks of paint on it as it was when we set it up new--although this easel is so well-finished that a quick wipe in time will keep it clean.

I've shopped around for the best value to needs canvas I could find and this was the best deal I ever purchased!!! Works well for small to large (7') canvases. Good weight to it, doesn't sway too much when painting, pretty sturdy. Don't listen to what others say about the instruction manual, it's pretty straight forward if you can read, took 7 mins to put together out of the box.

The only one minor problem is the bottom holder doesn't have a holder for brushes or a can of water. But considering the price, this isn't a big deal. I got a clamp light and clamped it to the top of the mast. Perfect set up!

I have been searching all over for a decently priced easel that have all the specs that this one has and I was so excited that I found this one...I almost didn't think it would work because it seemed almost too good to be true. I mean..easels aren't cheap for good quality. The assembly process was SO simple, didn't even take me 5 minutes to put it together...no tools required just some hand screwable adjustment things. I was also nervous about the height of it because it originally looked really small until I began playing with the adjustments and realizing the full potential of it. I am extremely satisfied with this purchase! I highly recommend it! I cannot find anything wrong with it..and I even love the smell of the wood used haha. I don't know why anyone would buy any easel for any more than this price after finding this one. It is simply amazing. I love the shelf space on both the top and bottom adjusters as well. I keep my pencils on the top one and they fit so perfectly and the bottom one is big enough for my turp and brushes to rest on. I bought it for my home studio but will also be bringing it with along to school in the Spring. I love it! It also shipped very quickly, I was so pleased with the speed of its delivery.

I'm delighted! The price was exciting, the quality is outstanding. Sturdy construction, no wobbling. THIS IS WHAT EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW: This easel comes already assembled. The only thing left to do is put the four feet on, set the adjustable legs with provided screws, and attached the lower and upper canvas holder (also already assembled). No tools required, no additional materials needed. It will take you longer to get it out of the box than to finish these last few steps. Instructions provided in the package. The PDF file on website is not only unnecessary, but misleading. Don't bother. Easel is beautiful, solid and I love that the adjustable legs allow you the flexibility of adjusting your angles when painting, will lie flat (which I didn't know and am greatly pleased!!)Upright to flat and all the angles in between. It really is the perfect easel. I couldn't be happier. Good Luck!!
